Albany fishing trip - Picture-gasm
Hey guys, just posting some photos from our fishing trip down to Albany on the weekend. My younger brother Cody, my mate Benjo and his friend Bully headed down on Friday and had the hottest session we've all ever experienced on the Saturday. Things started slow for us in the morning, with the rocks quite busy and guys next to us hooking up every cast using mulies for the first half an hour while our surface lures not even getting a touch. The amazing sight of 2 sambos getting landed in quick succession had us all amped then all hell broke loose. I landed the first salmon on a northcraft stickbait, then Benjo landed one on a live herring. I then hooked onto something that took a screaming run to the right then a nother run to the left, after more than a 5min fight we had a tuna in the net! High 5's and Woohoos from guys up the rocks, I was stoked with my first toona! Bully and Cody also landed tuna that day, along with around 50+ salmon between the four of us for the day. A solid 7 hour session of sore arms, salmon smashing surface lures, a YTK capture and some follwing lures, tuna that just about ripped the rods out of our hands, and the highlight for me, 2 salmon on the fly gear! The salmon ranged from 4-7kg and the tuna from 2-7kg.
Went back on Sunday but was pretty quiet on the Salmon front with Ben landing the only one for the morning. The swell was up and the breeze in our faces but the tuna action was hot! I think we landed about 5 or 6, with a couple more spitting the lures. Cody and I had a crazy double hookup standing on the same rock and another one of Codys just about spooled him with only a couple cranks of backing left on the reel he still managed to land the fish!
We had a blast and I can see us heading down there every year from now!

That's awesome
Great work guys
When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

Thanks for all the love guys,
Thanks for all the love guys, definitely makes it worthwhile resizing and uploading to photobucket then copying and pasting all the codes when you get comments like this, realy appreciate it.
We realy did have a fun time on our first fishing trip away from home, it was better than we all expected.
The gopro footage is okay, could have been better if it wasn't so overcast. I'll be putting a clip together next time I'm home so you guys will have to wait a couple weeks!
